I have been flying in and out of Thailand since 2009 like this without any problems. I have been questioned twice in immigration about all my arrivals, and my answer was simple, "Because I like it here" The passport got stamped without any further questions both times.

No, Instead of staying 36 days every time, I will only stay 30 days. Theres no way I would waste a day at immigration just for a week extension, so I will limit myself to 30 days then. So, Instead of staying in Thailand for 180 days a year, I end up at 150 maximum. That accumulates to 30 days lost revenue over the year for the hotels I stay in, and the businesses I frequent.

Me the problem, that's Irony, I hope. I never stay past 180 days during a calendar year, nor have I overstayed my entry stamps. I exclusively stay in boutique hotels or serviced apartments, I have zero business nor income from Thailand. I'm strictly in Thailand as a tourist, and all I am guilty of, is to spend my hard-earned money here.

Flip flop as always. Instead of doing this reversal for all nationalities, why doesn't they just weed out the Nations that are causing the problems? I stay for around 34-36 days, five times a year. That will be maximum 30 days again from now on then, and a maximum of 150 days in Thailand compared to 180. For the small boutique hotel I always stay in, they will notice the 30 days they loose a year for sure. The same goes for all the bars, restaurants and other businesses I use daily and weekly when in Bangkok.

If they banned Airbnb in Thailand, most of these issues would go away. Some condos are almost running as hotels. I feel sorry for the guys living there and keeping up with this every day.

Lucky she wasn't caught in Singapore

Well it works doesn't it? Recidivism rate in Norway is among the lowest on the planet. It boils down to what you want as a neighbour again? A angry Pitbull that has just been let out of the cage, or someone with an education and future ahead of him.

It boils down to salary and education. If education is required for the job and a fair salary is paid, corruption goes down. I don't think that I have ever heard anything about something being smuggled into Norwegian prisons by the guards. I had a mate that did 12 years in Norway for premeditated murder, and has never mentioned that this happened during his stay in prison.

No contact for two weeks when the bloke is on holiday in Thailand, and they go into a full panic mode, Insanity.

To sachets of electrolytes and a bottle of water to start with.

In the areas I frequent, Flower café in Sukhumvit soi 22 is a favourite of mine.

Home detention is the next step then. Maybe he will be required to wear an electronic ankle monitor, but that one they will just strap onto the gardener.

The likelihood of him doing 8 years in jail is exactly the same as the Red Bull heir showing up at the F1 races in an old Lada with Boss1 as the licence plate on it.

I find it strange that anyone thinks that visa violations isn't a big deal in Thailand, and should go unpunished. If it was any European country throwing out illegals, it would be nothing but applause in the comments.

I have never seen anyone attacked by a bouncer in Thailand unless there has been any provocation of some sort beforehand. It normally takes a long time before the boiling point is reached, at least that is my observation over the years. But I have seen the same type of persons ending up in trouble time after time. You just know it will end badly long before it kicks off.
